2006 Release History

Added support for 'Reloadable' in service classes so that changes are reloaded when in development mode.

WebORB 1.1.0 - 11.30.06

added support for basic security including handling RemoteObject.setCredentials; use the simple WebORB security system by adding the appropriate configuration to the security and acl sections of weborb-config.xml; to use your own authentication system provide a class that implements a "check_credentials( userid, password )" method and add that class to the the security/authenticationHandler section of weborb-config.xml.

added a Log.error call if there is an error during service processing.

removed 'include REML' method call from configuration code

WebORB 1.0.9 - 11.03.06

added ability to map ActiveRecord instances to type classes on the client (tagged with [RemoteClass])

added support for invoking class methods (instead of only object instance methods)

Modified endpoint URL used by Flex applications to be relative (/weborb). The change simplifies deployment as Flex clients can connect to WebORB regardless of the context path of the hosting Rails application.
